I need to perform disk activity to a shared file across multiple 
instances of my program... my program was originally written using 
windows API and I'm porting it to other systems. and I'm using 
boost.thread for my threads.. Any way to create a global mutex? on 
windows all you need to do is provide "Global\" Prefix to the mutex name.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.
